They are so focused on ensuring that students have opportunities to keep learning, keep competing and keep interacting with their teammates and fellow students.” Triplett said.

Mr. Davis has been juggling schedules for all of our athletic teams from seventh grade through varsity while Mr. Norton has led the charge to make needed changes to allow students to continue with in-person learning. I’m am proud to make them our first dual Bell Ringer recipients,” Triplett concluded.
